1) Love Set - Two women get entangled in an intense battle of wills on the tennis court and try to pummel one another, but the stakes are higher than they realise.
Review: I don’t know if it was the plot in general or just my inability to comprehend the message being conveyed but the end left me kind of confused. I’m trying to find a deeper meaning but can’t seem to come to a conclusion. Perhaps there isn’t a deeper meaning behind the plot and what happened at the end, just happened. Other than that, the acting was great.
2) Collector - A befuddled man wants to know why a woman he’s seeing disappeared to go travelling with her male friends - but she demands a gesture of his true love.
Review: This was pretty creepy, a stark contrast to the previous one but I really enjoyed it. This might be my favourite out of all the short films. The plot was different and gripping, the acting was superb and IU is so pretty!
3) Kiss burn - As she listens to her friend’s tale about how the marks on her face are from making out with a guy, the two of them inadvertently cause a mishap.
Review: This one was more light hearted than the other two and even had me chuckling at the end.
4) Walking at Night - A man and a woman take an evening stroll together and ruminate about dreams and their various past moments spent together - as well as death.
Review: I enjoyed the noir style cinematography which added to the eeriness of the film. However, I found myself getting a bit bored halfway through. But the actors again did an amazing job.

This is my very first Korean variety show that I have ever started and finished (I literally just finished watching a few minutes ago) It was very refreshing compared to all the dramas that I have watched with their heavy romance and drama. Not to mention, Sister’s Slam Dunk Season 2 was hilarious and thoroughly entertaining! I laughed out loud AT LEAST ONCE in EVERY episode.
I have never made a review on MDL but this show was so amazing that I just HAD TO review it in the hopes that people will watch SSD Season 2
Months ago, I saw short clips from a few episodes on youtube and I loved it so much even though it didn’t make much sense (such as when they were shooting the music video and I didn’t know who the people were) so when I discovered that it was an actual show and watched all the episodes, everything made more sense and I was able to appreciate it more, I was so happy.
Also, I love the sound and visual effects and text on the screen it made everything 100x funnier.
When I saw the music video, my heart literally swelled, I was so proud of them because I know how hard they worked and saw how far they’ve come. The all grew together and became best friends. Their passion, dedication and the fact that they really tried was seen in their live performance on music bank, you can’t fake that. The whole time they were on Sister Slam Dunk Season 2, it wasn’t acting, it was their real personalities on screen and I loved them all!
I also love the teachers/ coaches and their genuine support for the Unnies and how they too spent so much time and effort into helping them. P.s I think the female dance teacher Hwayeong should totally debut. She is so nice and pretty and talented!!
Finally, the last episode was so touching and so heart warming. I already miss them.

Finally! Another drama I'm rating a full 10/10 after so long!
I don't care what people say about this being full of clichés. GIVE ME ALL THE CLICHÉS IF IT'S EXECUTED AS GREAT AS THIS SHOW AND IF THE CAST IS AS WONDERFUL AS THIS ONE.I just finished watching A Business Proposal and my heart ahhhh. This is most definitely a comfort show and one I will be rewatching in the future. I love it so much and definitely recommend you watch it. The WHOLE cast did a phenomenal job. They were all perfect for their respective roles and really brought their characters to life. It's rare for me to EQUALLY love ALL the main characters in a show and I did for A Business Proposal. But if I had to choose, I think that Jin Young Seo (played by Seol In Ah) stood out to me the most. Also, Shin Ha Ri (played by Kim Se Jeong) was so charming and such a loveable female lead. Their friendship in the show was so heartwarming. And goodness both Cha Sung Hoon's (played by Kim Min Gue) and Kang Tae Moo's (played by Ahn Hyo Seop) talent flowed out of the screen (and they are gorgeous too!). The two main couples' chemistry were off the charts and what really made me put this on my list of FAVOURITE ROMANCE DRAMAS OF ALL TIME (I'm very picky when it comes to this list so the fact that it's on there says a lot about how good this show is).
As I said before, this is definitely a comfort show which means you can expect this to be safe, light hearted and an overall good time (it's not dramatic and won't give you stress or high blood pressure lol). Not to mention the show was hilarious! The supporting characters made the show all the more fun e.g. Shin Ha Ri's colleagues and family <3. Moreover, the music was marvellous! I will absolutely be listening to the soundtrack in the future because it's that good. I especially loved 'Love, Maybe' by MeloMance, 'Love, Maybe' by Secret Number, 'Fall In Love' by Jihan & Park Soeun of Weeekly, 'Sun Shower' by MOVNING and 'Love, Maybe' by Kim Se Jeong.
In summary, I loved this show so much and really wanted to savour it for as long as I could yet at the same time I wanted to binge watch it. I wish the show would go on forever! I must admit that the last episode, particularly the final scenes, did seem kind of abrupt. Sometimes I think Korean dramas with 16 episodes are too long but in A Business Proposal's case I thought that it should have had 16 episodes instead of only 12 episodes. I'm sad that I finished it now but I'm so glad that I got to watch and experience the show. The stories and the characters will stay with me for a long time.

Anyway, MMMTV follows the members' lives, behind the scenes of filming their music video and other shenanigans. It was really fun to watch! You can't help but fall in love with them more, they really are Beagle Idols hahaha

That was such an amazing drama (I literally finished watching it 2 minutes ago) 'My ID Is Gangnam Beauty' made me laugh out loud so many times, kept me on the edge of my seat and ship the two main characters so much! At the end of every episode it made me eager to watch the next- it was that interesting! I'm so happy I watched this when all the episodes were already out because I don't know if I would've been able to survive a whole week waiting for the next one! I've never written a review but I am for this one which shows how much I really love this drama. The storyline was creative and so cute! I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. All the supporting roles did a fantastic job as well. Not to mention, the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful and fits perfectly with the show. I LOVE college romance dramas and haven't been able to find another one as good as 'Cheese In The Trap' but now I can happily say I have with 'My ID Is Gangnam Beauty.' FINALLY the message portrayed in this drama is so beautiful and relevant in today's world where everyone places so much significance on beauty and physical appearances. YOU, whoever is reading this, I want you to know that you are beautiful and strong and smart and should not worry about what other people think about you. Because at the end of the day, true beauty lies within each individual. That's all I wanted to say, feel free to add me as a friend! Now, my quest continues to find another drama that I can fall in love with, preferably romance >.<

I don't know why, but my expectations weren't very high for this drama but wow it had me laughing, swooning, crying and anticipating what would happen next at the end of every episode. And MY GOODNESS I love all the characters (the good ones of course). The cast did an amazing job , they were really able to portray authentic friendships and love and emotions.
Do you know how sometimes at the end of a drama it leaves you wanting more? Leaves you questioning what happened to the characters? Not content with how it ended? Well, you don't have to worry about experiencing that with this one. Other dramas would have stopped like half way in terms of the plot but 'Crash Landing on You' continued the story and it didn't once feel dragging. (Although, I wasn't happy with what they decided to do for a certain character but it adds to the plot, so I'll let it slide.)
And the OST? AMAZING. It made the drama even more beautiful.
This drama was so good that I finished it in 3 DAYS! I don't think I've finished a drama that fast since 'Goblin' (another drama which I gave a 10/10 rating). I was actually supposed to do some really important things but I chose to put it aside to watch 'Crash Landing on You' and I don't regret it.
Oh and another thing, the cinematography was absolutely breathtaking, especially the scenes in Switzerland. It makes me want to visit that country in the future... maybe I will. Maybe this was why it was fate for me to watch this drama, so I would decide to go to Switzerland and something life changing will happen. Ok maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Anyway, I love this drama. I recommend you check it out even if it's not your style because apart from Romance, there's underlying themes of Family, Friendship, Mystery, Comedy, Drama and Politics. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
*Edit: I rewatched this kdrama with my mum months ago and I loved it even more so I'm changing the rewatch value from 7 to 10*
